Colorado Custom Hardware (CCH) has recently completed an investigation and extensive testing to identify and isolate safety issues concerning the brazing on CCH Alien cams.

Testing has revealed that there was a brazing issue with specific cams made after November 2004. The units to be identified are marked with a small centre punch dimple at the base of the round ball where the axle goes through the cable eye. Although few failures have been reported, CCH recommends immediately discontinuing the use of any Aliens with this mark.

CCH is recalling the cams with the identifying punch mark. UK climbers should return them to Apex Distribution (UK CCH/Alien cam distributor) for a new replacement unit. You can mail your cams to: Apex Distribution ATTN: Brazing Recall 17 Eamont Mews Pategill Penrith CA11 8UB If you have any queries regarding this recall, you can contact Apex Distribution by telephoning 01768 800202 or emailing enquiries@apexdistribution.co.uk
